The Truth Of The Matter Is

 Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series After my Conversation with Paul Granger I wanted to do a quick review of Matthew of 10:35-36. Explaining the value of having someone who is a father a parent to give experience perspective. Sometimes ideas are helpful when you are making suggestions, however there comes a time when you operate in between the hypothetical and the reality and I b...

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series I thought that it would be a great idea to change things up a bit, so I  invited an old friend to the Gospel of Matthews series to have an intentional conversation.

Lost Episode Theme of the Year in 2023. "Preference Your Approach And Communication!" 

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series the  soft open is reflection. Are you reflecting on how good God is on the daily? If not, you should consider it. You will be surprised how present He is in the details of your life. The focus today was on Matthew 10:34  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”  The quest...

As we continue through the Gospel of Matthew series we come across a passage I truly believe isn't spoken enough about and that's Matthew 10:32-33. I spent time explaining why I believe these two verses should be one complete thought instead of being two separate verses. Now the deeper issue has to do with reaping the name Jesus Christ. Over the years there have been numerous times where an athlet...

 As we continue with the Gospel of Matthew series the passage of Scripture that became extremely interesting for me this week was Matthew 10:29-31. What made it interesting was that Jesus possessed a rhetorical question with a set up to address something much more meaningful. What doesn't surprise me is God has a way of encouraging you to ask, seek,and knock and once you do that the wisdom th...

Every episode so far dealing with the Gospel series I have spoken about the importance of reflection. In the soft often I've mentioned that by reflecting you will notice how good God has been and how much he has been a blessing to you each and every week.

As we continue with the Gospel of Matthew series this week I was reminded of episode 155 a verse will do and I remember how I spoke about the importance of how a single verse can be all you need when faced with life's trouble.

  This week on the podcast we are continuing through the gospel of Matthew series and decided to do a review of last week's episode because of how much it would prepare us for today's conversation. While preparing for this episode I had to remember one thing and that was; the Word of God is simple sometimes. I also had to keep in mind that it's very relatable. What's unique about it is t...

Continuing with The Gospel of Matthew series we take a look at Matthew 10:24-25 and examine the teacher and student relationship from a historical aspect.

With the discussions of Matthew 10:21-23 as the primary objective the need for change  helps us open the floor for discussion. As b...

  As we continue with the Gospel of Matthew series we reached a point in scripture where a Legitimate question ought to be asked: the things Jesus had to say is it for all new and upcoming disciples? Or was it just meant for the disciples who stood before him as he told these suggestions to watch out for and Embrace? When reading God’s  Word why should we Examine it, study it , and...

This week on the podcast we continue with the Gospel of Matthew series. However just like last week there's something added in to equip the people with and that is the power of a single verse. Yes it’s important to value passages. Yes it’s important to appreciate a whole chapter but there is something about a verse that gets overlooked. Therefore today the focus is to point out how a single verse...

The normal Approach to the podcast for this week changed a little bit. The lead is usually a testimony in which I share: two or three ways the lord has blessed me last week and I use that to get us started. Right after We pray and then we usually jump right into the Word. However this time it was intentional because I thought it would actually be more beneficial if focus was on how the Word of God...

This week on the show we address the instructions of Jesus to his disciples found in Matthew chapter 10 specifically in verses 5 and 6 and it reads:These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” So in Spirit of curiosity the question is why did he instruct them not to go nea...

This week on the show we revisit Matthew 9:35-38 to assist us with the understanding of Matthew 10:1-15. It was because of this text Johnathan felt the need to draw comparisons with other books in the Bible to support the idea that God meets the needs of his people throughout Biblical history and more importantly till this very day!. The question has been raised: does God love his people? And if h...
